We had 126 Father Dave McC-Note Challengers in 2016 at this year's 39th Annual Waterloo Disc Golf Classic, and they added over $3,800 to the fundraising.

We began accepting Father Dave McC-Note Challengers for the 40th Waterloo in 2017 at this year’s Waterloo. 12 people signed up during the tournament and a couple of more have paid since then. They are:
Khali Mendoza
Laura Hovey
John Hovey
Larry Kruse
Kirk Lavallee
Jan Baumgardner
James McNair
Stevo Barnes
Richard Ahlgrim
Kevin Phulman
Mark Penniman
Scot Estep
Todd Moore
Charles Chapman

Regular registration won’t open up until closer to the tournament and once it does entries will pour in. Don’t take a chance on missing out, take the 2017 Father Dave McC-Note Challenge now.

The way it works is this: send the Waterloo Club a check or money order for $100 now. Your spot in the tournament is guaranteed. When fees for the different divisions are set, we will deduct from your $100:

To clarify something that has come up occasionally: this money saves “your” spot, not “a” spot. Once the tournament fills up and there is a waitlist, if you have to cancel you can’t just give your spot to someone else. As with any cancellation, the spot goes to the next person on the waitlist. If you do have to cancel, you will receive a refund of everything except what would have gone to the fundraising (and that money will still be added to the donation).

Don’t wait too long and end up missing out on this wonderful event. Send in your money now and you won’t have to worry about it filling up without you.

The fundraising total is in, we raised $9,100 for the Austin Ronald McDonald House (RMH) at the 39th Annual Waterloo Disc Golf Classic this year!!! Plus we collected a large box of canned food, household goods, etc for the families there, and 13 gallon-jugs of aluminum can tabs.

That brings our grand cash total donated to RMH up to $117,043 in cash, 160 gallon-jugs of can tabs, and lots and lots of boxes of food, goods, and toys since the tournament became a charity event back in 1998, the 21st Annual Waterloo DG Classic. WOW!

Thank you to all our sponsors, players, and staff all these years for making this amazing tournament better and better!

The other, smaller part of our fundraising from the event will go towards course improvement projects at Austin area courses. This year that amount raised came to $3,000.

Looking forward to the 40th Waterloo DG Classic in 2017, the dates will be the usual 3rd weekend in October: Oct. 20-22, 2017. We plan on being back at the Hancock Golf Course again, this has been an amazing venue for the event and the past four years there have been so much fun and so very successful!
